SAE International has announced that its AS-2 Embedded Computing Systems Committee is developing a standard to establish Ethernet as a high-bandwidth network protocol for time-, mission-, and safety-critical systems. The organization expects the broader use of Ethernet to reduce costs while enhancing the design of open and scalable electronics architectures for space, aerospace, defense, and ground vehicles.
SAE AS6802, "Time-Triggered Ethernet," describes a set of services to meet the requirements of real-time data delivery in advanced integrated systems. The standard will permit critical control systems and audio/video and LAN applications to safely coexist in one Ethernet network.
SAE International says that initial supporters of the SAE AS6802 project include Lockheed Martin, Bombardier, General Dynamics, Honeywell, BAE Systems, and GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms. The first production program that is scheduled to use commercial-off-the-shelf components that comply with SAE AS6802 is NASA's Orion crew exploration vehicle, which is being designed to carry astronauts to the International Space Station.
